”This morning my mom who has been managing hypertension for over 20 yrs passed away right there in the car while I was taking her to the hospital this morning simply because men of the
@PoliceNG
insisted that I have to part with 20,000 naire before they will let us pass.

I am in pains right now , I have now become an orphan all because of this lock down.
My mom would not have died if we had arrived at the hospital early enough. I even offered to make a transfer these officers refused, thy said it will be traceable , they needed cash .

Even after pleading with them for over an hour , these heartless officers refused to all us move. They made me sit there and watch my mom pass away before my eyes. I doubt if I will ever be normal again after this. I hate this country

So many lives is being lost daily due to this lock down and sadly it is not covid 19 that is killing them. The anger I feel right now is totally overwhelming

I want to get something clear ,
@NyesomWlKE
are we not allowed to take our loved ones who need medical care to the hospital ? Are we just supposed to sit at home and die.

I have been contacted by the Rivers state government. Pls I want to make it clear. It is not
@NyesomWlKE

@PoliceNG

Thank you to everyone for your condolences . God bless you”.
